A dirty car registration plate landed a man with a suspended jail term - but it wasn't for the grimy number.
Police stopped Sam Wells when they spotted him in his car in Weston-super-Mare in the early hours. When they spoke to him they could smell cannabis and they found a quantity of the Class B drug before Wells showed them eight bags of Class A cocaine.
Wells, 28, of Bruton, Monkton Avenue, Weston-super-Mare, pleaded guilty to possessing a Class A drug with intent to supply and possessing a Class B drug on December 12 last year. The recorder Mr Llewellyn Sellick handed him a two-year jail term suspended for two years.
